8.5 Summary
This page presents summaries for the logs produced by the appliance, separated by days and generated by the logwatch
log monitoring software. Unlike the other parts of the log section, it has its own settings to control the level of details
shown. The following control elements are available in the first box at the top of the page.
Month
Select from this drop-down menu the month in which the log messages were generated.
Day
The second drop-down menu allows to pick the day in which the log messages were generated.
<<, >>
Browse the history, moving from one day (or part of it when too many messages have been generated) to another. The
content of the page will be automatically refreshed.
Update
Immediately refresh the content of the page when the month/day combination has been changed.
Export
When clicking on this button, a text version of the summary is shown and can be saved on a local filesystem.
Below the Settings box, a variable number of boxes appears, depending on the running services that have log entries.
The Disk Space box should at least be visible, showing the available disk space on the chosen date, while other boxes
that can show up include Postfix (mail queue) and Firewall (accepted and dropped packets)
Note that the summaries are not available for the current day, as they are generated every night from the log files
generated the day before.
8.6 System
In this section appears the log viewer for the various system log files. The upper box, Settings, defines the criteria to
display the entries in the lower box. Besides the common actions, one additional control is available:
Section
The type of logs that should be displayed, either All or only those related to a given service or daemon. Among others,
they include kernel messages, SSH access, NTP, and so on.
Following the choice of the section, click on the Update button to refresh the logs displayed in the Log box at the
bottom of the page, in which the Older and Newer buttons allow to browse the pages.
8.7 Service
In this section appear the log entries for three of the most important services provided by the appliance: IDS, OpenVPN,
and the anti-virus, each in its own tab. Only the common actions are available.
